        Lol, was going to say the same thing.

        To DX’s point I never really cared for vegetables until I got older as well. We always had a garden so would have some decent, fresh vegetables, but there was a lot of canned and frozen stuff as well. I definitely prefer raw vegetables instead of cooked.

          With very few exceptions (beets, artichoke hearts), canned vegetables are virtually inedible - especially when it comes to green beans and peas. Frozen is acceptable (except for Brussels sprouts, which must be fresh), otherwise fresh is always best. Canned, I'd rather lick pennies.

            Frozen is good for corn and maybe a few others. It’s good for the times when you need something and need it quick. I usually keep a bag or two of frozen corn in my freezer.

              My parents won't eat Brussels sprouts in any form because their parents only boiled them. Still scarred from it.

              I don't mind canned green beans, but fresh and canned are almost incomparable. Different textures and taste. I'd almost consider them different vegetables entirely.

                Agreed, and canned green beans are the only kind I find edible. I don't make them because I assume they taste good because they have lost all nutritional value (c.f. carrots).

                    I knew there was a reason I really didn't like you. Now I can justify sending you to the wall after the revolution.

                      That's good to hear, but I'm pretty sure the Jacobins will get me at my first, "well, actually..."

                      I figure I'm good for about the first 6 months of The Terror until they decide the intellectuals are counter-revolutionary because we're not applauding every execution wildly. That's usually how it goes.

                          You've started cutting your caloric intake. Anytime you do that, your body will feel a sluggish until it accepts the new norm. It's the same as those people who go on Ketogenic or other low-carb diets. They all suffer the [insert diet name] flu.

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                            Game of thrones Sunday’s with my friends are nearly over, thankfully.
                            I did manage to cook meals to cover M-W before I head to DC.

                            We always do takeout food for Sunday’s to watch the show so we had chipotle with a Mexican coke, followed by a small blizzard. Coming off a sugar high.
